Riding on motorcycles have become the over used means of transportation in Nigeria. About 80% of transportation are normally done with an Okada.

The government of Nigeria recently announced the ban of Okada in the country.

The Lagos state government banned the use of the Okada due to excessive deaths and disorderliness caused by motorbike and motorized tricycle taxis, known as “Keke napeps”.

Citizens of Nigeria have however resorted to horses as means of transportation for everyone who wants to reach their destinations in a haste.

This ban took effect on 1 February and will be enforced on all major highways and bridges. It will be extended to other areas after an impact assessment is done.

Smartly, horse owners hit the road to replace the Okada riders.
